Raising the bar in Jakarta: Not only did Tai Tzu Ying start her winning series here in January, five months later she already gains the 5th goldmedal in a row! After falling behind against the Chinese player Chen Yufei in the finals, she fought her way back into the game, eventually winning it in 21-23, 21-15 and 21-9.

Another great performance was shown by the Malaysian Mixed Double Chan Peng Soon / Goh Liu Ying, resulting in a great silver medal after winning against two Chinese pairs set on place 2 and 4. It took the Indonesian local heroes Ahmad / Natsir to stop Chan and Goh in the finals.
